The new framework expands tax slabs under the new regime, offering targeted relief for middle-class and upper-middle-income earners while maintaining continuity in both old and new tax structures. The 30% tax bracket now applies only to income above ₹24 lakh, shifting significantly from the earlier ₹15 lakh threshold and delivering major relief to earners in the ₹15–₹24 lakh segment. Price relief is expected across essentials, healthcare imports, personal-use imported goods, energy inputs, education-linked sectors, and manufacturing components due to customs exemptions and duty relaxations.
